IRCSSA

International Radio Controlled Surface Sailing Association

Race Rules & Records

NOTE: Without a doubt a variety of racing rules have already been created in different parts of the world which are already in use. IRCSSA does not intend to change any of the rules currently in use. We will however provide a program of additional sets of rules which can be used for comparing performance of yachts and sailors in various parts of the world with their counterparts anywhere else in the world. We intend to maintain a permanent “RULES COMMITTEE” to create and maintain this program.

 

A variety of types will be addressed such as (1) Competition between two or more sailors, (2) One way speed trials, (3) Two way speed trials, etc. The following links are to the rules for each of those types.

 

For now, you may wish to consult the FISLY rules & Nat'l Iceboat Authority Diagram:
